[Once again I forgot to Reply All. Ala, you've seen part of this before.] I'm a filer. With ASDF and even more so these days with Quicklisp, it's just easier to load the stuff I need and it doesn't take that long and it saves me having to spend any mental energy keeping track of different images.
However, Fare's mention of buildapp reminded me that I use it for some of my deployed websites, mostly just so I have one thing that is built and I know won't change, if I accidentally decide to upgrade a library or tweak some source code for some other reason. (Obviously, I could also just keep my source for the running app in some distinct place--now that I'm a bit more adept at git, I might start doing that.) -Peter On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 7:45 AM, Ala'a Mohammad <amal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm continually learning Common-lisp and trying to find the best style > that suites me better.
